Halo Reach Evolved 2.2

Many users still hold Halo: CE has the pinnacle of the series's gameplay, if not in level design. Even to this day, its sandbox is compared favorably with the rest of the series. Thankfully, with the latest release of the entire series on PC, a bunch of users can mod every single game in the series to be more like what they feel like it should be. Halo Reach Evolved is one user's approach to rebalancing the other games to be closer to what he feels like it should be.

To install Halo Reach Evolved, simply unzip the maps into /Steam/steamapps/common/Halo The Master Chief Collection/haloreach/maps, everything from m10 to m70bonus. Make sure to back up everything in here before you replace them. Then, run the no cheat version of the game.

This mod changes a ton. For example, you jump higher and your walking speed also matches Halo: CE's values. You can also carry 4 of each grenade, and frag grenades only explode when at rest just like in Halo CE. The Assault Rifle now also has 60 rounds just like in Halo 1 and every other weapon has been rebalanced so they all serve a purpose. The vehicles have also been changed and balanced significantly - the Revenant, which is near useless on higher difficulties, now has a flamethrower, giving it a powerful niche as a premiere anti infantry vehicle.

All in all, these changes are relatively well thought out and changes the way you play the game significantly. You should give Halo Reach Evolved a download if you want to experience the game in a different way.
